[history]
Dear Free Republic Friends,
My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.
So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):
I have poisoned the well.
By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.
By my intellectual ineptitude.
By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.
By my biting every hand that fed me.
By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.
By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.
Evidenced by:
One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.
By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.
BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.
Conclusion:
It is a sad day.
For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.
So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?
I can hardly wait.
Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

No problem.
As long as you don't throw yourself off the deep end, I'm ok. You're a good guy, Jim!

I've only glanced at Strike the Root once or twice. What exactly is "anarchistic" about it? It just looked like a run of the mill Libertarian/ Conservative website to me.

I've been wondering what happened to Dales. I always respected you and a few other posters (sadly, a most of those no longer post here) when I first discovered this site.

In my world, a "good guy" doesn't spend a year working on a project intended to threaten and intimidate someone else - particularly someone who was once his friend. A "good guy" doesn't reveal sensitive information because he doesn't like someone.

To: Jim Robinson
With all due respect Jim, you have created something bigger than you. YOU have nothing to do with the validity of the things that are posted on this site.
There is nothing anyone could say about ANYTHING you have done or are doing that would impact the importance of Free Republic.
Does Rush having a prescription drug problem invalidate everything he has ever said? Of course not!
Same story here.
To: NittanyLion
How goes it, Nittany. Good to see you.
I'm not exactly what you would have expected out of the Texas Chainsaw Moderators, am I?
Either Joe is not representing things accurately, or I am not.
I've never liked "he said, she said" situations. Sucks to be in one.

Hi Dales!!
I have known you for a very long time and consider you to be a man of your word, a loyal and trusted friend and quite honest with people even when that honesty could hurt.
I think I have no other option than to take your word on how things happened.
I am glad and honored to call you my favorite freeper friend.
Neets.

Here you go.
Good egg? Or someone who wanted to take over FR from Jim, and continues do so?
I think the owners at LP would be watching their backs with the likes of BadJoe around. Then again, they seem to all have allot in common over there.
Dales, thanks for the post. I think more developed as time went on due to BJ's bitterness. He would have done well to let it drop; it wasn't worth it
To: Dales
I think he also called you the Gestapo Twins.
Joe sure does have it wrong.

In the interest of full disclosure I was told once that you were a mod, and after racking my brain I thought I could reconcile writing styles of some moderator posts with yours. So while it doesn't come as a surprise, you certainly don't fit the profile of someone who's overly emotional or holds personal vendettas.
If the intention of your post was to inoculate this forum against the theory that mods are overly aggressive, I'd say you accomplished your mission.

"but there was a thread over there where he was whining about JimRob banning posts from the racist site VDARE."
# 251 by Willie Green *********************
BADJOE was not "whining," he was pointing out that VDARE is not a racist website.
